Re: poopy diapers

My son is 10.5 weeks old, and his poopy diapers began cutting back between 7 and 8 weeks, and now there is a drastic difference. He used to have tons of poopy ones; now they are much less frequent--but what he lacks in frequency he makes up for in intensity!

Re: poopy diapers

at the 6 week mark we drastically cut back on our poopy diapers - slowly went from about 5 a day to 3 a day to 1 every other day. But even that isnt a regular - like yesterday he went twice and they were HUGE.

As long as he has enough wets - and when it does turn out to be poo it is soft and yellow and your lo isnt in any distress you are good =)

This also marks the point when my lo started having less trouble with gas. Firecrackers all day without the pain he used to get

Re: poopy diapers

My baby girl is right around the same age as yours. She'll be 6 weeks old on Sunday. I've noticed this week that she has been having significantly fewer BMs in a day than previously (dow from 6-8 to 2-3). I've read that this is supposed to happen. It just seems sudden and drastic. Hopefully other things (like less gas and fussiness) will also change suddenly and drastically soon too!

Re: poopy diapers

Your daughter is only a few days older than my son, he was born 5/1....
And yes I hope that the gas and fussiness changes suddenly too lol. I keep mylicon drops in him though now and it really helps with the gas... I burp him more freqently too.
